i looked at the pictures,sent to me - gave the customer an honest,realistic opinion,the owner of the boat,he dismissed what i had to say,as "bs"...i sat down with the customer,at my shop,went over all the points i had seen in the pictures,showed him prices - he came to his senses,after he seen it all in black and white...

projects are not for everyone - lots of guys go into projects,believing their abilites far exceed what they truly are,they also go into projects with an unrealistic budget...budgets and abilities are often the most cause of unfinished projects...

Great post. I`m a lucky slacker.

And that is half of the story. I will be doing a complete break down of an omc fast track rebuild over the next corrosion filled weeks. This is killing me as the run is a sweet time to get it.
